MOUNTED POLICE B ' Sam Israel Representing what today is one of tlic world ' s finest constabular - organ- izations, the Royal Canadian Mounted Poliec was modeled after its predecessor. the North ' est Mounted. There are two principles that stand out in the code of the Ro al Canadian Mounted Police. One is written and the other is unrecorded. Both of these prin- ciples are ne er broken no matter if it ma mean the life or death of the constable. Being the first principle and the one that is written, prohibits the Mount from drawing first. The second law, the unwritten code is what has made the Ro al Canadian Mounted Police the organization that it is today. It ma mean months and years of hardships but onh ' through death .shall the Mount ' fail to get his man. Officers of the Royal Mounted ha e ested in them the responsibility of patrolling and protecting life and propert - in millions of square miles of property. This property lies between the Rocky Mountains and the Keewatin District on the shores of the Hudson Bay and from the United States-Canadian border line to the Arctic Ocean. The responsibility of patrolling this territory- is but a part of their york. In many cases the care of the sick or the injured falls to them There are records that tell of the yaliant service done by these men of the north. Man ' a time an entire Indian yillage during an epidemic has been under the care of the Mounty. In remote districts up toward the Arctic Circle, the deli en- of the mail falls upon the Mounted Police. They are also foresters, doing all possible in preyenting loss by fire, and fighting them when the break out. Time and time again the Mount ' has sacrificed his life in the protection of the ast timber area. It is during the times of danger that the mounted police prove their courage, for no matter what the odds are ag.iinst them the will do all that is humanh ' possible in the preser ation of human life. These men are not always mounted police, for if it w.rn ' t for their dogs and sleds it would be impossible to patrol these sections of the uorLiiland. With their snowshoes, and their dog teams and sleds, the police enturj into faraway Indian and Eskimo villages, rarely entered by white men. These men of the northwest, whose dauntless courage in guarding life and property, proctecting the weak and assisting everxone, are hailed today as the greatest body of men in an constabnlar organization in the world.
